The page you are currently looking at is my day-to-day blog. There are others! You can navigate to them by using the links on the right hand side of this page, and then between them in a similar fashion. Not An Ivory Tower is a collection of some of my writings deriving from my post-doctoral research with an inter-faith seminary in the States; Celebrating the Year offers thoughts, short liturgies, prayers, food suggestions, and decorative ideas for various festivals, times and seasons; Tro Breizh is the beginning of a devotional calendar of Breton saints; Threshold contains templates/scripts which can be personalised (with my help if you wish) for such occasions as births, betrothals, marriages, new homes, farewells, and partings; and Finding Balance is a series of workshops based on the chakra system. Explore, browse, enjoy - and please do send me your feedback via the comments boxes!

Dark

It must be dark where you are,
shutting people out,
before they have the chance to break your heart.

It must be lonely where you are,
hiding yourself away,
before you have the chance to see who you might be.

Little boy with golden hair, you didn't want a sister.
You wanted life to stay the way it was,
to be the precious baby, the only one;
you never knew how much
you were, and are, the beloved son.

It doesn't have to be this way.
The more you shun, the more I seek;
the more you spurn, the more I need to speak
the words we never said,
to feel the love we never found,
to hold the hand that never led.

Little boy with golden hair, you didn't want a sister.
You wanted life to stay the way it was,
to be the precious baby, the only one;
you never knew how much
you were, and are, the beloved son.

It doesn't have to be this way.
It doesn't have to be this way.
